i was wondering what 18 mars meant to Turkish people, Thanks for the INFO!Turkey will remember Wednesday as the 105th anniversary of March 18, 1915, a day celebrated as Canakkale Victory and Martyrs’ Day.
The poignant day marks the cataclysmic, months-long violence of the Gallipoli Campaign when Ottoman forces suffered huge losses defending Turkish shores in northern Canakkale province from the invading Allies in WWI.
The British War Council decided to occupy the Gallipoli Peninsula on Jan. 13, 1915. The main target was Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
Britain wanted to cross the Gallipoli Strait and occupy Istanbul before Russia, thus, ending the war.
Britain and France, two allied states, suffered an unexpected defeat March 18, although they thought they would cross the Gallipoli Strait easily with battleships.
Britain’s HMS Irresistible and HMS Ocean and France’s Bouvet were sunk by mines laid by Ottoman vessel Nusret before they passed the strait. Realizing that they could not pass, the allies started a military operation April 25.
